The man is seen in video surveillance at a gas station along the area where 24 incidents have occurred since Oct. 16. The FBI, Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Crime Stoppers are offering a $102,000 reward for information about the shooter.

Wixom Police Department Director Clarence Goodlein said the man seen in the video is one of many who investigators have interviewed or would like to talk to in their quest to find the person who has taken shots at 24 people in Oakland, Livingston, Shiawassee and Ingham counties. One person has been injured.

"Certainly some of the tips we are receiving are just that, that there is a person who says this person looks like the person in the composite, and maybe he has a dark colored car," Goodlein said today. "And we certainly are taking those tips and assigning investigators to them, absolutely."

Goodlein said investigators also are working on a profile of the suspect that will be released to the public.

"We are going to catch this guy -- it is just simply a matter of time," he said. "We will identify this man and we're going to bring this man to justice and make him responsible for everything he's done. And we're going to lift this burden from everybody in this area who perhaps experiences anxiety or is fearful because of these incidents."

Canton plumber Brant Bastian, 33, was at the Wixom Police Department today after two police officers went to his parents’ house in Howell on Thursday looking for him. Bastian has a shaved head and thin face, which he said promoted someone to say he looked like the police sketch of the shooter.

"Saying somebody on Facebook posted something about me looking like the sketch, so that's why I'm here, to figure out what's going on," he said. "No, I am not the shooter."

Bastian said his brother, also a plumber with a shaved head, was on his way to the sheriff's office in Livingston County after the same thing happened to him. He said neither minds the interruption to their day.

"We should be working, but you have to get this taken care of," he said. "I hope they get this guy. It's unsafe for anybody to drive down 96 right now, somebody out there like this."

A victim driving on M-52 in Ingham County about 6:30 p.m. Oct. 18 saw a handgun being waved out the driver’s window of an oncoming car before a shot was fired at him, according to investigators. The victim helped police create the sketch of the suspect, believed to be a man in his 30s with shaved hair. The shooter was driving a 10- to 12-year-old, dark-colored, four-door car with a body style similar to an old Toyota Camry or Oldsmobile Alero.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said that the task force had received 2,600 tips as of today.

He said law enforcement officials along the I-96 corridor will be increasing patrols this weekend. The Ingham County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday plans to beef up patrols for those travelling to Saturday's 3:30 p.m. Michigan State University football game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

"This weekend, certainly all of the communities who police the freeway are going to be active and have extra patrols out," he said. "Our helicopter is going to run up and down the freeway."

Bouchard said patrols also will concentrate on roads other than I-96, since only three shooting incidents happened on the freeway.

"The vast majority of these did not happen on the freeway; they happened in proximity to the freeway," Bouchard said. "They’ve been all types: surface streets, highways, divided highways."

Residents shouldn't let the heightened effort and the shootings stop them from their normal activities. Bouchard said he took two of his children up and down I-96 to Wixom and then out to dinner in Novi last weekend.

"The statistical likelihood of you encountering this person is low," he said. "But having said that, we have a great sense of urgency trying to catch this person. One person hurt is one too many."

The Michigan State Police has set up a bus-sized mobile communication vehicle outside the Wixom Police Department. Goodlein said it was brought in to facilitate communication between more than 100 investigators who are working on the case.
